This is a one day Arts and Health Seminar at Midlands Regional Hospital, Tullamore on Thursday, July 6, 2017.
Curated by Ann Lawlor in collaboration with Midlands Regional Hospital, Tullamore and Anam Beo (an independent arts and health organisation that delivers the Offaly Arts-in-Health Programme).
There are many communities/stakeholders that co-exist within hospital and wider healthcare settings. The Seminar encourages the interaction between all communities and the role ‘art/cultural processes and practices’ can positively contribute to evolving new meanings and content; enabling cohesion and relationship building; and contribute to further research and developments in patient care, medical and health care interventions.
The aim of the Seminar is to consider:
- The role art and creative practices can play within hospital and healthcare settings and the positive impact on communities/stakeholder
- Sharing of information and finding out about creative collaborations and practices in hospital and multifaceted healthcare settings
- How specific art practices and projects can contribute to further research and developments in patient care; medical and health care interventions; and drive new policy within health and wellbeing settings
Seminar Programme:
- Four specialist speakers working in the field of Arts and Health
- Presentations from practitioners within hospital and healthcare settings, for example, clinical, surgical, pharmaceutical, therapeutic, nursing, administration, estates and community care perspectives, etc as a means of introducing and engaging Seminar attendees with new concepts, content and ideas or future creative collaborations and practices
